DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0030] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-5, a worktable having the function of collecting dust or the like in accordancewith a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a body 1having a top provided with a frame 11.

[0031] The frame 11 of the body 1 has an inner wall provided with aflange 111, for supporting multiple net plates 12, thereby forming atable. The frame 11 of the body 1 has a corner formed with an insertionhole 112 (see FIG. 5) for insertion of an upright hanging bar 13. Theframe 11 of the body 1 has three sides each pivotally provided with aguard plate 14, 15 and 16 in a hinge manner. The guard plates 14, 15 and16 are connected with each other by snaps 17 (see FIG. 2A).

[0032] The body 1 has a lower portion provided with a dust suctionchamber 2. The dust suction chamber 2 has a top provided with a ramp 21.The ramp 21 of the dust suction chamber 2 has a distal end formed withan upright receiving space 22 extending downward to a bottom of the dustsuction chamber 2. An oblique plate 28 is mounted in the receiving space22. A filter net 3 is inserted into the receiving space 22. The filternet 3 is not fixed when it is inserted into the receiving space 22, andis rested on the wall of the receiving space 22 by action of the obliqueplate 28.

[0033] The body 1 has a back side formed with an opening 23 (see FIG. 3)communicating with the dust suction chamber 2. An outer cover plate 24is secured on the back side of the body 11 for covering the opening 23.

[0034] The body 1 has a side formed with an air outlet 26, and isprovided with a guard net 27 for covering the air outlet 26 of the body1. A blast 25 is mounted in the dust suction chamber 2, and has anoutlet communicating with the air outlet 26 of the body 1. The lowerportion of the body 1 is formed with a dust collection opening 18located beside the receiving space 22. A dust collection drawer 19 isslidably mounted in the lower portion of the body 1, and is received inthe dust collection opening 18.

[0035] In user, referring to FIGS. 5-7 with reference to FIG. 1, thetable formed by the multiple net plates 12 may be used to work andprocess workpieces (not shown) supported thereon. The upright hangingbar 13 may be used to support an electric power wire or a lamp, therebyproviding an illumination effect.

[0036] The fragments 4 (see FIG. 7) produced during the working processmay initially pass through the meshes of the multiple net plates 12, maythen fall down onto the ramp 21, may then roll down along the ramp 21into the dust collection opening 18, and may finally be collected by thedust collection drawer 19. Alternatively, fragments 4 produced duringthe working process may initially pass through the meshes of themultiple net plates 12, may then directly fall down into the dustcollection opening 18, and may finally be collected by the dustcollection drawer 19.

[0037] On the other hand, the work table in accordance with the presentinvention may also be used to collect tiny chips 41 (see FIG. 7) orpowder dust. The blast 25 mounted in the dust suction chamber 2 may blowand carry the air outward to produce a suction force. The blast 25 mayco-operate with the dust suction chamber 2 to form a closed space whichis disposed at an almost vacuum state.

[0038] Thus, after the blast 25 is started, the suction force producedby the blast 25 may achieve the optimum effect, so that the chips 41produced by the workpieces worked on the multiple net plates 12 may besucked downward and may be carried to the filter net 3. Thus, the chips41 may be adhered on the filter net 3, thereby achieving the effect ofcollecting chips and dust.

[0039] It is appreciated that, when the filter net 3 is inserted intothe receiving space 22, the filter net 3 may co-operate with the obliqueplate 28, so that the filter net 3 may be positioned in place by theoblique plate 28. Thus, when the blast 25 is started to evacuate the aircontained in the dust suction chamber 2, the filter net 3 may besecurely positioned in place by the suction force of the blast 25 asshown in FIG. 7. In addition, when the blast 25 is not operated, thefilter net 3 is rested on the wall of the receiving space 22 in anoblique manner as shown in FIG. 6, thereby facilitating replacement ofthe filter net 3.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 8, the work table in accordance with thepresent invention further comprises multiple planar plates 121 that maybe inserted into a bottom of a respective one of the net plates 12 asshown in FIGS. 11-13. After the planar plate 121 is closely bonded onthe net plate 12, the blast 25 mounted in the dust suction chamber 2 mayblow and carry the air outward to produce a suction force. Thus, theplanar plate 121 is closely bonded on the net plate 12, so that theoriginal power may produce a more collective effect without having toadditionally increase the power, so that the fragments 4 and chips 41may be moved and collected more rapidly and efficiently.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 8-10, the work table in accordance with thepresent invention further comprises a cable 33 mounted on the filter net3 for pulling the filter net 3 upward, and a handle 34 mounted on thecable 33 for pulling the cable 33.

[0042] The receiving space 22 is provided with two side walls 220 eachformed with a circular hole 222 and an elongated slot 221. An angledplate 31 having an L-shaped cross-section is slidably mounted betweenthe two side walls 220 of the receiving space 22, and has two ends eachformed with a circular hole 32. The filter net 3 is mounted on theangled plate 31 to move therewith and located between the two side walls220 of the receiving space 22. The cable 33 has two ends each in turnpassed through the circular hole 222 and the elongated slot 221 of arespective one of the two side walls 220 of the receiving space 22 andeach passed through and secured in the circular hole 32 of one of thetwo ends of the angled plate 31. Thus, the filter net 3 and the angledplate 31 may be pulled upward by the cable 33.

[0043] In such a manner, when the filter net 3 is filled with the chips41, the net plates 12 may be removed from the frame 11, and the handle34 may be pulled upward to pull the cable 33 which moves the angledplate 31 upward, so that the filter net 3 and the angled plate 31 may bepulled upward by the cable 33 to move upward from the position as shownin FIG. 9 to the position as shown in FIG. 10. At this time, the filternet 3 is still received in the receiving space 22. Then, the filter net3 may be shaken to touch the side walls 220 of the receiving space 22,so that the chips 41 may largely fall down into the dust collectiondrawer 19.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 14, the work table having the function ofcollecting dust or the like in accordance with another embodiment of thepresent invention further comprises a safety switch set 5 mounted on thebody 1, a handgrip 29 mounted on the guard net 27, and a roller set 6mounted on the bottom of the body 1.

[0045] Referring to FIG. 15, the roller set 6 is undefined.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 16, the dust collection drawer 19 is mounted onthe back side of the body 1.

[0047] Although the invention has been explained in relation to itspreferred embodiment as mentioned above, it is to be understood thatmany other possible modifications and variations can be made withoutdeparting from the scope of the present invention.
